Everything Breakaway!(LIVE on 4/28)

I can't wait. I have a 2BD haven suite that open to the pool. :D

[SissasMomE]

Just a note...

You are right, prices depend; and I was refering to a price list from 02/19/2012, over a year ago, for the TransAtlantic.

The B9 (SPA) was listed as $1,499. and the B1 (AFT) $1,399.

 

Oh I'm sorry. I didn't realize that.

How many suites have access to the pool?

[gambee]

How many suites have access to the pool?

 

I had no idea they opened into the courtyard, that's really neat.

[endymion6942]

All "Haven" suites including Haven Spa, Haven Penthouse, Etc.

I Think.

[zlacruising]

I like the lines of the ship better, including the more tapered aft and the less pronounced suite "hat" on her. I'm still fond of the Epic as my first "mega ship", but hull art aside (still don't like it) the Breakaway is a better looking ship IMO.

 

I seem to remember seeing those feet a lot from the Maiden voyages of the Epic.:)

[pyrrhus]

I remember sailing on the Dawn when she was brand new. We were given a little flyer when we boarded' date=' sort of a map of the ship. I wonder if they will have this for the Breakaway? I hope so, or there will be a lot of lost passengers roaming around.[/quote']

 

Pretty sure I will be roaming around aimlessly, map or not...... I do it on every cruise ship for the first day or so. I just enjoy seeing them.

Is it enclosed? It seems like it is from the photo.

It has a sliding roof, I believe they did it for the NY winter weather. Nice touch.

Very cool!!

[endymion6942]

Very cool!!

 

Epic did not have a sliding roof in the Haven. Pearl and Jewel does. I think it was a design mistake on Epic.

[SissasMomE]

I agree with you. I can't see how it would ever be at a negative to have a sliding roof.

[endymion6942]

Especially when your doing a TA from Southhampton to New York in June.:rolleyes:

[Raindrops27]

The prices depend on the sailing. Anyway, the aft-facing balconies tend to be larger than the regular balcony cabins. I think that may be what the OP is refering to.

 

Thank you for your help! I am in cabin 14846 which I believe is below the Garden Cafe, so I was thinking maybe I should move, but was wondering what deck. But, I guess the deck really does not matter in my bc category(regular balcony).

[KrystalWaters]

Hmmm.....I just upgraded to a spa balcony, that salt room, WOW!!:eek::D:p

I'm thinking it's a "hump balcony". But to make sure what's is a hump balcony? Is having one a good thing? I'm in room 14150. Could someone point the room out on one of those lovely pictures.;):D it's on the port side.

 

Thanks,

Krystal:D

You have one of those odd (not a bad thing) shaped balconies, it is the one where the hump starts. Your balcony is larger than the rooms next to you, here have a look. Plus you also have that forward facing view, it should be a nice balcony.

 

 

[KrystalWaters]

Aah Gambee I was oping you were still up to help me!:p

 

Now what's that above me??

Hmmm my cvs told me it's towards the middle and not forward.

I'm too excited. Was hoping for a bigger balcony. Thought about getting the large balcony but they were only available on the 8th floor, directly above the auditorium!:eek::eek:

IMHO you should stay where you are; on the hump and in a convenient location.

How many suites have access to the pool?

 

All the suites have access to the haven on Breakaway and Epic.

 

Yes I'm doing a mini stat comparison.

 

On the Breakaway 80 suites have access to the haven pool.

 

That's, at max a possible 320 people. All suites maxed - unlikely.

 

But a realistic 70% occupancy during peak times, or inaugural periods, yields 224 on Breakaway.

 

I was curious and ran these # compared to Epic.

 

The Epic has 75 cabins w/haven access.

Max folks at full occup in suites. = 390

unlikely, so same 70 % = 273

 

Basically from my #'s the Breakaway has 22% less folks with haven access than the Epic.

 

Is the Epic haven 22% lager than the Breakaway's Haven?

 

Also- regular guests in haven(1/2 suite guests) = Breakaway 122 / Epic 136

 

Again 22% variable. The difference in # of suite guests between the B and E.

 

Given the # from my calculations the Haven on Breakaway will be just as crowded as the Epic if not more. The Haven on the Breakaway is smaller. Is the Breakaway Haven 22% smaller? I don't have sqft to work with yet. ;)During the first few sailings the Haven should be sparsely populated as folks explore a new ship. Once that wears off I have concerns with these #'s.

 

I will add the space ratio per pass is the same as Epic. (30)

 

I eagerly await trip reports from the Breakaway.

With the Ems River conveyance coming up this weekend I thought that I would link a thread from last year showing screen grabs of Celebrity Reflection departing on hers, just in case some of you may not have ever seen one:

Be sure to check out all of the pages of that thread too as it shows screen grabs from downriver as well! :D

It seems like above you there will be chairs from the pool deck, but towards the very end. I usually don't like the overhang covering balconies, but many love them. Look how well the AQUA cabins sell on the S-class ships and they are all covered by an overhang. Different folks different strokes :)

 

I also wonder about the large balcony on deck 8, many on S-class ships claim the noise from the theater is not an issues at all. Hopefully it will be the same for Breakaway.

 

You're near the RR next to where the cabins start.

 

 

EDIT: WOW, that is a large image, I was not expecting it to be that big, LOL :D

Hi Dave!

 

Quick question, why do they take them in reverse? it is easier to navigate that way?

 

Thanks for sharing the link.

Cruise Critic reported that Breakaway has fewer suites than Epic. I forget the number but I think it is over 12 which is significant. 80 suites on Breakaway, wow!

[david_sobe]

 

The atrium has the exact same carpet as Epic. It is fine but would like to see new things.
